Effect of a processing delay between direct and delayed sound in simulated open fit hearing aids on speech intelligibility in noise

IntroductionSubjects with mild to moderate hearing loss today often receive hearing aids (HA) with open-fitting (OF). In OF, direct sound reaches the eardrums with minimal damping. Due to the required processing delay in digital HA, the amplified HA sound follows some milliseconds later. This proces...
